The effect of potassium sorbate addition to a continuous culture of Saccharomyces cerevisiae was observed. The influence on the yeast performance depended on the way the inhibitor was added. The unsteady state continuous method seems to be the best one to obtain microorganisms' adaptation to inhibitors, and for the experimental study of microbial inhibition.
